Woosnam Wins European PGA
WENTWORTH, England — Ian Woosnam, winner of nearly $2 million in 1987, rebounded from this year’s slump with a 5-under-par 67 Monday to win the $561,000 European PGA golf championship by two strokes.
The Welshman, who missed five successive qualifying cuts on the U.S. and European circuits this season, overtook third-round leader Severiano Ballesteros of Spain in rainy conditions at the 6,945-yard West course at Wentworth. Woosnam finished with a four-round total of 274.
Ballesteros’ final-round 70 put him into a tie for second place at 276 with Britain’s Mark James, who scored 68. Tied for third at 278 were Zimbabwe’s Mark McNulty, the leading money-winner on the European tour this season, and Britain’s Roger Chapman, who carded a 6-under-par 66 on the final round.
